And{G2532} Jesus{G2424} answered{G611}{(G5679)} and spake{G2036}{(G5627)} unto them{G846} again{G3825} by{G1722} parables{G3850}, and said{G3004}{(G5723)},

The kingdom{G932} of heaven{G3772} is like{G3666}{(G5681)} unto a certain{G444} king{G935}, which{G3748} made{G4160}{(G5656)} a marriage{G1062} for his{G846} son{G5207},

And{G2532} sent forth{G649}{(G5656)} his{G846} servants{G1401} to call{G2564}{(G5658)} them that were bidden{G2564}{(G5772)} to{G1519} the wedding{G1062}: and{G2532} they would{G2309}{(G5707)} not{G3756} come{G2064}{(G5629)}.

Again{G3825}, he sent forth{G649}{(G5656)} other{G243} servants{G1401}, saying{G3004}{(G5723)}, Tell{G2036}{(G5628)} them which are bidden{G2564}{(G5772)}, Behold{G2400}{(G5628)}, I have prepared{G2090}{(G5656)} my{G3450} dinner{G712}: my{G3450} oxen{G5022} and{G2532} my fatlings{G4619} are killed{G2380}{(G5772)}, and{G2532} all things{G3956} are ready{G2092}: come{G1205}{(G5773)} unto{G1519} the marriage{G1062}.

But{G1161} they made light of{G272}{(G5660)} it, and went their ways{G565}{(G5627)}, one{G3303} to{G1519} his{G2398} farm{G68}, another{G1161} to{G1519} his{G846} merchandise{G1711}:

And{G1161} the remnant{G3062} took{G2902}{(G5660)} his{G846} servants{G1401}, and entreated them spitefully{G5195}{(G5656)}, and{G2532} slew{G615}{(G5656)} them.

But{G1161} when the king{G935} heard{G191}{(G5660)} thereof, he was wroth{G3710}{(G5681)}: and{G2532} he sent forth{G3992}{(G5660)} his{G846} armies{G4753}, and destroyed{G622}{(G5656)} those{G1565} murderers{G5406}, and{G2532} burned up{G1714}{(G5656)} their{G846} city{G4172}.

Then{G5119} saith he{G3004}{(G5719)} to his{G846} servants{G1401},{G3303} The wedding{G1062} is{G2076}{(G5748)} ready{G2092}, but{G1161} they which were bidden{G2564}{(G5772)} were{G2258}{(G5713)} not{G3756} worthy{G514}.

Go ye{G4198}{(G5737)} therefore{G3767} into{G1909} the highways{G1327}{G3598}, and{G2532} as many as{G3745}{G302} ye shall find{G2147}{(G5632)}, bid{G2564}{(G5657)} to{G1519} the marriage{G1062}.

So{G2532} those{G1565} servants{G1401} went out{G1831}{(G5631)} into{G1519} the highways{G3598}, and gathered together{G4863}{(G5627)} all{G3956} as many as{G3745} they found{G2147}{(G5627)}, both{G5037} bad{G4190} and{G2532} good{G18}: and{G2532} the wedding{G1062} was furnished{G4130}{(G5681)} with guests{G345}{(G5740)}.

And{G1161} when{G1525} the king{G935} came in{G1525}{(G5631)} to see{G2300}{(G5664)} the guests{G345}{(G5740)}, he saw{G1492}{(G5627)} there{G1563} a man{G444} which had{G1746} not{G3756} on{G1746}{(G5765)} a wedding{G1062} garment{G1742}:

And{G2532} he saith{G3004}{(G5719)} unto him{G846}, Friend{G2083}, how{G4459} camest thou{G1525}{(G5627)} in hither{G5602} not{G3361} having{G2192}{(G5723)} a wedding{G1062} garment{G1742}? And{G1161} he was speechless{G5392}{(G5681)}.

Then{G5119} said{G2036}{(G5627)} the king{G935} to the servants{G1249}, Bind{G1210}{(G5660)} him{G846} hand{G5495} and{G2532} foot{G4228}, and take{G142} him{G846} away{G142}{(G5657)}, and{G2532} cast{G1544}{(G5628)} him into{G1519} outer{G1857} darkness{G4655}; there{G1563} shall be{G2071}{(G5704)} weeping{G2805} and{G2532} gnashing{G1030} of teeth{G3599}.

For{G1063} many{G4183} are{G1526}{(G5748)} called{G2822}, but{G1161} few{G3641} are chosen{G1588}.

Then{G5119} went{G4198}{(G5679)} the Pharisees{G5330}, and took{G2983}{(G5627)} counsel{G4824} how{G3704} they might entangle{G3802}{(G5661)} him{G846} in{G1722} his talk{G3056}.

And{G2532} they sent out{G649}{(G5719)} unto him{G846} their{G846} disciples{G3101} with{G3326} the Herodians{G2265}, saying{G3004}{(G5723)}, Master{G1320}, we know{G1492}{(G5758)} that{G3754} thou art{G1488}{(G5748)} true{G227}, and{G2532} teachest{G1321}{(G5719)} the way{G3598} of God{G2316} in{G1722} truth{G225},{G2532} neither{G3756} carest{G3199}{(G5719)} thou{G4671} for{G4012} any{G3762} man: for{G1063} thou regardest{G991}{(G5719)} not{G1519}{G3756} the person{G4383} of men{G444}.

Tell{G2036}{(G5628)} us{G2254} therefore{G3767}, What{G5101} thinkest{G1380}{(G5719)} thou{G4671}? Is it lawful{G1832}{(G5748)} to give{G1325}{(G5629)} tribute{G2778} unto Caesar{G2541}, or{G2228} not{G3756}?

But{G1161} Jesus{G2424} perceived{G1097}{(G5631)} their{G846} wickedness{G4189}, and said{G2036}{(G5627)}, Why{G5101} tempt ye{G3985}{(G5719)} me{G3165}, ye hypocrites{G5273}?

Shew{G1925}{(G5657)} me{G3427} the tribute{G2778} money{G3546}. And{G1161} they brought{G4374}{(G5656)} unto him{G846} a penny{G1220}.

And{G2532} he saith{G3004}{(G5719)} unto them{G846}, Whose{G5101} is this{G3778} image{G1504} and{G2532} superscription{G1923}?

They say{G3004}{(G5719)} unto him{G846}, Caesar's{G2541}. Then{G5119} saith he{G3004}{(G5719)} unto them{G846}, Render{G591}{(G5628)} therefore{G3767} unto Caesar{G2541} the things which are{G3588} Caesar's{G2541}; and{G2532} unto God{G2316} the things that are{G3588} God's{G2316}.

When{G2532} they had heard{G191}{(G5660)} these words, they marvelled{G2296}{(G5656)}, and{G2532} left{G863}{(G5631)} him{G846}, and went their way{G565}{(G5627)}.

The same{G1722}{G1565} day{G2250} came{G4334}{(G5656)} to him{G846} the Sadducees{G4523}, which{G3588} say{G3004}{(G5723)} that there is{G1511}{(G5750)} no{G3361} resurrection{G386}, and{G2532} asked{G1905}{(G5656)} him{G846},

Saying{G3004}{(G5723)}, Master{G1320}, Moses{G3475} said{G2036}{(G5627)}, If{G1437} a man{G5100} die{G599}{(G5632)}, having{G2192}{(G5723)} no{G3361} children{G5043}, his{G846} brother{G80} shall marry{G1918}{(G5692)} his{G846} wife{G1135}, and{G2532} raise up{G450}{(G5692)} seed{G4690} unto his{G846} brother{G80}.

Now{G1161} there were{G2258}{(G5713)} with{G3844} us{G2254} seven{G2033} brethren{G80}: and{G2532} the first{G4413}, when he had married a wife{G1060}{(G5660)}, deceased{G5053}{(G5656)}, and{G2532}, having{G2192}{(G5723)} no{G3361} issue{G4690}, left{G863}{(G5656)} his{G846} wife{G1135} unto his{G846} brother{G80}:

Likewise{G3668} the second{G1208} also{G2532}, and{G2532} the third{G5154}, unto{G2193} the seventh{G2033}.

And{G1161} last{G5305} of all{G3956} the woman{G1135} died{G599}{(G5627)} also{G2532}.

Therefore{G3767} in{G1722} the resurrection{G386} whose{G5101} wife{G1135} shall she be{G2071}{(G5704)} of the seven{G2033}? for{G1063} they all{G3956} had{G2192}{(G5627)} her{G846}.

Jesus{G2424} answered{G611}{(G5679)} and{G1161} said{G2036}{(G5627)} unto them{G846}, Ye do err{G4105}{(G5744)}, not{G3361} knowing{G1492}{(G5761)} the scriptures{G1124}, nor{G3366} the power{G1411} of God{G2316}.

For{G1063} in{G1722} the resurrection{G386} they neither{G3777} marry{G1060}{(G5719)}, nor{G3777} are given in marriage{G1547}{(G5743)}, but{G235} are{G1526}{(G5748)} as{G5613} the angels{G32} of God{G2316} in{G1722} heaven{G3772}.

But{G1161} as touching{G4012} the resurrection{G386} of the dead{G3498}, have ye{G314} not{G3756} read{G314}{(G5627)} that which{G3588} was spoken{G4483}{(G5685)} unto you{G5213} by{G5259} God{G2316}, saying{G3004}{(G5723)},

I{G1473} am{G1510}{(G5748)} the God{G2316} of Abraham{G11}, and{G2532} the God{G2316} of Isaac{G2464}, and{G2532} the God{G2316} of Jacob{G2384}? God{G2316} is{G2076}{(G5748)} not{G3756} the God{G2316} of the dead{G3498}, but{G235} of the living{G2198}{(G5723)}.

And{G2532} when the multitude{G3793} heard{G191}{(G5660)} this, they were astonished{G1605}{(G5712)} at{G1909} his{G846} doctrine{G1322}.

But{G1161} when the Pharisees{G5330} had heard{G191}{(G5660)} that{G3754} he had put{G5392} the Sadducees{G4523} to silence{G5392}{(G5656)}, they were gathered together{G4863}{(G5681)}{G1909}{G846}.

Then{G2532} one{G1520} of{G1537} them{G846}, which was a lawyer{G3544}, asked{G1905}{(G5656)} him a question, tempting{G3985}{(G5723)} him{G846}, and{G2532} saying{G3004}{(G5723)},

Master{G1320}, which{G4169} is the great{G3173} commandment{G1785} in{G1722} the law{G3551}?

{G1161} Jesus{G2424} said{G2036}{(G5627)} unto him{G846}, Thou shalt love{G25}{(G5692)} the Lord{G2962} thy{G4675} God{G2316} with{G1722} all{G3650} thy{G4675} heart{G2588}, and{G2532} with{G1722} all{G3650} thy{G4675} soul{G5590}, and{G2532} with{G1722} all{G3650} thy{G4675} mind{G1271}.

This{G3778} is{G2076}{(G5748)} the first{G4413} and{G2532} great{G3173} commandment{G1785}.

And{G1161} the second{G1208} is like{G3664} unto it{G846}{(G5625)}{G3778}, Thou shalt love{G25}{(G5692)} thy{G4675} neighbour{G4139} as{G5613} thyself{G4572}.

On{G1722} these{G5025} two{G1417} commandments{G1785} hang{G2910}{(G5743)} all{G3650} the law{G3551} and{G2532} the prophets{G4396}.

While{G1161} the Pharisees{G5330} were gathered together{G4863}{(G5772)}, Jesus{G2424} asked{G1905}{(G5656)} them{G846},

Saying{G3004}{(G5723)}, What{G5101} think{G1380}{(G5719)} ye{G5213} of{G4012} Christ{G5547}? whose{G5101} son{G5207} is he{G2076}{(G5748)}? They say{G3004}{(G5719)} unto him{G846}, The Son of David{G1138}.

He saith{G3004}{(G5719)} unto them{G846}, How{G4459} then{G3767} doth David{G1138} in{G1722} spirit{G4151} call{G2564}{(G5719)} him{G846} Lord{G2962}, saying{G3004}{(G5723)},

The LORD{G2962} said{G2036}{(G5627)} unto my{G3450} Lord{G2962}, Sit thou{G2521}{(G5737)} on{G1537} my{G3450} right hand{G1188}, till{G2193}{G302} I make{G5087}{(G5632)} thine{G4675} enemies{G2190} thy{G4675} footstool{G5286}{G4228}?

If{G1487} David{G1138} then{G3767} call{G2564}{(G5719)} him{G846} Lord{G2962}, how{G4459} is he{G2076}{(G5748)} his{G846} son{G5207}?

And{G2532} no man{G3762} was able{G1410}{(G5711)} to answer{G611}{(G5677)} him{G846} a word{G3056}, neither{G3761} durst{G5111}{(G5656)} any{G5100} man from{G575} that{G1565} day{G2250} forth ask{G1905}{(G5658)} him{G846} any more{G3765} questions.
